Not Your Mother'S Meatloaf Recipe

Name: Not Your Mother'S Meatloaf
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: To serve 4 to 5 people.; 1.5 to 1.75 lbs chopped meat (beef, veal, pork). Other variations are fine, but using several different meats adds depth.; 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped; 1 shallot, coarsely chopped; 1 scallion, thinly sliced; 2 egg yolks; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp white pepper; 1/2 tsp truffle oil; 1 cup diced baked potato. I find it easiest to make the potato the previous day and let it cool and become firm in the refrigerator overnight. This makes it easy to skin and dice.; 3/4 cup of coarsely chopped mushrooms (using a few types of mushrooms enhances the dish -- I use shitake, morel and regular brown mushrooms); OPTIONAL 1 small jalapeno or chile pepper, chopped fine.; Ketchup

To serve 4 to 5 people.
1.5 to 1.75 lbs chopped meat (beef, veal, pork). Other variations are fine, but using several different meats adds depth.
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
1 scallion, thinly sliced
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp truffle oil
1 cup diced baked potato. I find it easiest to make the potato the previous day and let it cool and become firm in the refrigerator overnight. This makes it easy to skin and dice.
3/4 cup of coarsely chopped mushrooms (using a few types of mushrooms enhances the dish -- I use shitake, morel and regular brown mushrooms)
OPTIONAL 1 small jalapeno or chile pepper, chopped fine.
Ketchup

1
Saute the mushrooms in a lightly buttered pan to get out most of the moisture.
2
Separately, saute the onion, shallot, and scallion in a lightly buttered pan. Take off of the flame as the onion begins to turn clear.
3
In a large bowl, combine the chopped meat, egg yolks, truffle oil, salt, and pepper thoroughly.
4
For a spicier entree mix in the diced jalapeno or chile.
5
Gently fold in the sauteed onions, mushrooms, and diced baked potato.
6
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 X 9 casserole dish and use a spatula to firmly and evenly press the mixture into it.
7
Using ketchup, cover the top of the dish with diagonal stripes in both directions. About half to three quarters of the surface should be covered.
8
Bake at 350 (preheated oven) for 40 to 50 minutes and finish under the broiler for about 5 minutes to brown the top.
9
Remove from oven and carefully pour off excess liquid.
10
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
